To all 'whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, RICHMOND B. HAR'rs- FIELD, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and lmproved VVindow, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to windows having stiles mounted. to slide up and down, and sashes pivoted on the said stiles to admit of turninfr the sashes on the stiles.

The ob3ect of the invention is to provide a new and improved window arranged to permit-of conveniently turning the sashes with a view to allow cleaning ofthe outer faces of the sashes from the inside of the room. For the purpose mentioned, use is made of a window frame having parting strips of fixed and movable sections, guard strips of fixed and movable sections and cross bars carrying thesaid sections and mounted to swing on the sides of the window frame to allow of turning the sashes on their stiles at the time the said movable sections and their cross bars are swung into outermost position. fA. practical. embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a art of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in` all the views.

Figure 1 is an inner face view of the window; Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional plan 'view of the same on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional side elevation Iof one side of the window; Fig. 4 is a plan View of one side of the window; Fig. 5 is an enlarged cross section of the window on the li'ne :5*5 of Fig. 1; Fig. 6 is a. similar view of the same showing the parts in position for turning the sashes on their stiles; and Fig. 7 is a perspective view of a modin fied form of the inner guard strip.

4The window frame A is provided at its -sides A with inner guard strips B, outer guard strips C and parting strips D forming the usual guideways for stiles E and E to slide in; the said Stiles E and E being connected with the lower and upper sashes F and G by pivots H and H to permit of Within the room, as will be understood by i sti-ws n. lori-s3 Ef swinging the 'lower and upper sashes F and G in a transverse direction to permit of I and I and the parts attached thereto into an outward position, as indicated in Fig. 5. Normally the cross bars I and I extend in transverse grooves A2 arranged in the sides of the window frame so that the vertical sections B, C D and D2 ofk the strips B, C and D form portions thereof to insure a proper up and down movement of the stiles E and E in the guideways formed by the guard and parting strips. The vertical seetion B of each inner guard strip B is somewhat less in `height than the sash F, while the vertical section C of theouter guard strip C is of a height reaching to the lower rail of the outer sash G when the latter is in uppermost position, as plainly indicated in Fig. 5.

A portion B3 of the'inner guard strip B directly above the vertical section B is connected by a hinge K to the upper xed portion of the corresponding guard strip and the said hinged section B3 is provided with a pin L adapted to be engaged by a hook L mounted on the corresponding side A of the window frame A so that when the hinged section B3 is swung into uppermost position, as shown in Fig. 6 (see also dotted lines in Fig. 1) the said section B3 can be locked in place by the hook L engaging the pin L. It will be noticed that, by reference to Figs. 5 and 6, the hinge K at the upper end of the section B3 is a distance above the top rail of the lower sash F at the time the latter is in lowermost posit-ion. When it is desired to turn the sashes F and G for cleaning the outer faces thereof the sashes are moved into uppermost position. and then the operator swings the sections ll into uppermost position and locks the saine therein by engaging the hooks L with the pins L. The operator now swings the cross' cleaning the outer faces of the sashes from bars l and l outward Ente the pw-wf.

lines in Fig. 6, after which the sash F is lowered and turned on its pivots H to swing the sash so t-hat its outer face is inside of the room, to permit of conveniently cleaning the outer face. lrVhen this has been done the sash is swung back to a vertical position and then pushed to uppermost position, after which the upper sash Gr is lowered and turned. on its pivots H to permit of cleaning the outer face of the sash from the inside of the room. When this has been done the outer sash G is turned back to vertical position and then the outer sash is raised, after which the cross bars I and I with the parts carried thereon are swung back into innermost osition and the sections B3 are unlocke by disengaging the hooks L from the pins L, and then the sections B3 are swung back into closed position to permit of moving the sashes F and G up and down in their guideways in the usual manner.

Instead of pivoting the sections B3 to the fixed portions of the inner guard strips B the said sections B3 may be connected by hinges K with the upper ends of the vertical sections B of the inner guard strips, as shown in Fig. 7. When it is desired to turn the sashes as above described, the section -Ba is swung downward onto the face of the vertical section B to move with the latter into outward position as'above described.

By reference to Fig. 2 it will be noticed that the vertical sections B and C are approximately one half the thickness of the guard strips B and C so that the Stiles E remain in their guideways at the time the sashes are lowered and the cross bars I and I with the parts thereon are swung into outermost position, and only the portions B2, C2 at the cross bars I and I are of the full thickness of the inner and outer guard strips to permit ot' making the grooves suiciently deep to accommodate the cross bars I and I so that the said cross bars do not interfere with the free up and down sliding movement oi' the stiles E and E.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A window of the class described, comprising a window frame having transverse grooves in its sides, the said frame having parting strips and inner and outer guard strips, the parting strips each having two spaced movable sections in its lower portion Iand the guard strips each having a lower movable section, cross bars carrying said movable sections and hinged at'their outer ends to the sides of the window frame, sashes having Stiles mounted to slide in the guideways formed by the parting strips and guard strips, the lower movable sections of the inner guard strips ,being less in height than the lower sash and the movable sections of the outer guard strips extending to the lower rail of the upper sash when the latter is in uppermost position, the said cross bars normally extending in the transverse grooves in the sides of the window frame so that the movable sections of the guard strips and parting strips are in position to permit of the free up and down sliding movement of the Stiles.

A window of the class described provided with a window frame having transverse grooves in its sides, parting strips and outer and inner guard strips on the sides of the window frame and forming guideways for the stiles of the sashes to slide in, each outer and inner guard strip having a lower separable section and the parting strips having lower separable sections, cross bars to which the said separable sections of the outer and inner guard strips and parting strips are secured, the cross bars normally iitting the said transverse grooves in the sides of the window frame to permit of the free up and down sliding movement of the Stiles, and hinges connecting the outer ends of the said cross bars with the sides of the window frame.
